Homechoice at Reading

Long Term Accommodation In Reading

Homechoice at Reading is for people seeking long-term accommodation in a Reading Borough Council property (council house) or a Housing Association property. Homechoice cannot help if you need to move quickly.

Demand for Homechoice properties is very high, so you should continue looking around for somewhere to live - the Housing Advice Service can give advice on where else to look. In the Related Information box on the right there are links that may help.

How Homechoice at Reading Works

  • Applicants join the housing register
  • We advertise available properties every two weeks
  • Applicants on the register can show their interest in a property by making a bid
  • Eligible bidders with the highest priority rating are invited to view the property before we make an offer
